What areas? Maybe this is more of just an issue of not wanting to be on the extremes. I can definitely see myself being frustrated with the right if I lived in South Carolina or Alabama or any of the deep red states.

Texas and Louisiana. Absolute disasters. Texas is especially a facade of what people think is being run well because people are moving there because it’s “cheap” (hardly anymore) and Louisiana is a disaster in every aspect.

Majority of my family lives in the Deep South (Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama). They’re beautiful states that have been actively destroyed, probably beyond repair, by the Republican governments. DC is good and can and should be a lot better, and there’s at least hope that it actually can improve in the way that it needs to. Republicans don’t believe government should exist let alone exist to improve anyone’s lives and they’ll continue to make every red state worse than it was when the last person left. The only reason why Hogan couldn’t do more damage in Maryland (though he was actively hostile to Baltimore — which is a place that is actually run poorly) is because he was constrained by the Dem supermajority in the legislature and Youngkin is similarly constrained by not having a majority in both chambers in VA either.
